Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chickpeas very dry with a paper towel. This is key for crispiness.
  3. In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil until evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Add the spice mixture to the chickpeas and toss until well combined.
  6. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  7. Roast for 20-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crunchy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or ginger to the spice mix.
  • If you prefer a milder spice, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
  • Store any leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
